POPSMcCain Beats Obama ! At first, it wasn’t evident that something extraordinary was brewing last evening. The polls in Virginia closed at 7 pm Eastern time, and that race was too close to call (no surprise there) since, even though Obama was favored in the Old Dominion State, George W. Bush had carried it by eight points both elections. But by 8 pm, it began to become apparent that the blowout some in the media and the Obama camp had been predicting might not be materializing. New Hampshire — where pre-election polls had seen Obama up 10 points — was too close to call, a repeat of what had happened almost a year before in the primary between Obama and Clinton. Missouri and Ohio were also too close to call, with McCain showing unexpected strength among working-class and Catholic voters. Just as in 2004, Florida was showing unexpected strength for the Republicans, despite the housing crisis. Then Minnesota began to report and, in a huge surprise, that race, too, was too close to call.

POPSObama Campaign Ignoring NBC Cease-and-Desist UPDATE NBC blasts clip as 'outrageous' and demands Obama camp cease running it altogether "We have engaged the Obama campaign on the legal front and demanded that they stop using the ad," Gollust says. "To date they have not complied. Their response was to put a tagline at the end of the ad. However, that is not good enough, and we continue to demand they cease and desist using this outrageous ad." The tagline reads "NBC and MSNBC did not cooperate in the making of this video" and flashes for three seconds at the end of the ad. The spot has been seen more than 566,000 times, and features the image of Tom Brokaw and voice of Keith Olbermann announcing a mock victory for Sen. John McCain. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbc/obama_campaign_ignoring_nbc_ceaseanddesist_96105.asp?c=rss

POPSMilitary Leading the Way? Similar to the Internet, GPS, and many other technologies we now use everyday as consumers, I'm hoping this is another one that gets its start in the military and move to consumer use relatively soon. If we could figure out an efficient way to turn trash into fuel, we produce so much trash in this country, I don't think we'd have any problem weening ourselves off of oil.

POPSits baacckk..eurovision i have a confession....we have a little get together each year and watch this... Italy has not participated in the contest since 1997 because of the lack of interest from RAI and from the Italians themselves...picture 1958 - Domenico Modugno and Nel blu, dipinto di blu (Volare) - in the US, where it has become commonly known as Volare, and got two Grammy Awards. It is one of few Eurovision songs that has reached #1 at the US singles charts. At the 50th anniversary show "Congratulations" in 2005, it was elected the 2nd best Eurovision entry ever.

POPSObama & Hamas: McCain Camp Responds: Andy McCarthy We understand why Senator Obama doesn't want to engage in a debate over leadership and judgment with John McCain, but the American people demand that debate take place. Just today, the president of Iran, whom Senator Obama wants to meet with unconditionally, called the state of Israel a 'stinking corpse.' Iran is the paymaster and state sponsor of Hamas. In his victory speech this week, Senator Obama stated that 'wisdom' is meeting with our enemies, including Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, North Korea's Kim Jong Il, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Raul Castro. John McCain couldn't disagree more. Rather than giving tyrants and dictators the prestige of meeting with an American president, John McCain will instead meet with the champions of human freedom around the world and opposition leaders fighting for liberty

POPSSeries Of Rockets Or Mortars Hit Green Zone In Baghdad Nearly 10 blasts were heard in the sprawling area in central Baghdad starting about 6:15 a.m., and the U.S. public address system there warned people to "duck and cover" and to stay away from windows. Maj. Brad Leighton, a U.S. military spokesman, confirmed the Green Zone was hit by indirect fire, the military's term for a rocket or mortar attack, but could not immediately provide more details.

POPSBear Mountai tree sit dismantled, forest destroyed, everyone arrested Its a sad ending but I appreciate what all the tree sitters did and are doing -- standing up for our rights and the rights of the environment. There is victory in the very act of defiance used. It will help others have the courage to do the same. That is the victory, showing people that even know you may have ultimately lost this one battle, you held that area nearly a year. Your actions will spawn more. Someday the elite may wake up to find we have organized enough and we will no longer tolerate multi national corporate run societies, and we will no longer be their slaves. Until that day, keep the faith and thanks for all you do.

POPSThe Problem With Bush's "Unconscionable Historical And Moral Lapse" Robert Spencer, one of the nation’s leading critics on Islam, says President Bush experienced "an unconscionable historical and moral lapse" when he recently called for an end to what he called the "occupation" of Arab land by the Israeli military. The Islam critic says it is interesting there were no calls for a Palestinian state when the same territory was occupied by Egypt and Jordan prior to 1967. http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-91061/Camp-David-Accords

POPSAnd you didn't hear about this from the MSM either...
Sanchez's attitude was: "The women asked to be here, so now let them take what comes with the territory," Karpinski quoted him as saying. Karpinski told me that Sanchez, who was her boss, was very sensitive to the political ramifications of everything he did. She thinks it likely that when the information about the cause of these women's deaths was passed to the Pentagon, Donald Rumsfeld ordered that the details not be released. "That's how Rumsfeld works," she said. "It was out of control," Karpinski told a group of students at Thomas Jefferson School of Law last October. There was an 800 number women could use to report sexual assaults. But no one had a phone, she added. And no one answered that number, which was based in the United States. Any woman who successfully connected to it would get a recording. Even after more than 83 incidents were reported during a six-month period in Iraq and Kuwait, the 24-hour rape hot line was still answered by a machine that told callers

POPSProgress in Iraq Day by day, inch by inch. The people's impatience with the Iraq situation is contagious and impacts negatively on the troops. Isn't relative peace and stability in Iraq a worthy goal? If we pulled all the troops out tomorrow, would that be the likely outcome? Does anyone really believe that? Perhaps people think it's an impossible goal?
